Ardensway Team

We take pride in providing our employees with an unconventional work environment. We strongly believe that high energy and fun within the work place equal the desired result. Having each other’s backs is ingrained in our culture. Experienced trainers regularly sit down with new team members to help them be successful in whatever ways they can.

Many members of our team are former athletes, so competitiveness flows through our veins. We fully encourage this spirit because it drives performance and makes day to day life a lot of fun. We’re not into the ‘cut throat’ style of competition – we foster an environment that brings out an individual’s best performance.

We seem intense…and we are when it comes to achieving our goals! But between and during the hard work we have LOTS of fun. Take a look at our social media pages and see for yourself!

We build relationships… in person, human to human, face to face. There is no customer acquisition strategy more effective! Face to face can mean outside sales, events, or retail environments – as long as it’s a venue where we can communicate in person to customers and businesses. It all depends on the need of the client and the target market. Consider us the ‘people people’. We focus on communicating with your target market and new customers to create an exceptional customer experience. Our approach in expanding into new markets and increasing our client’s business is unparalleled by other forms of marketing because of our individualized style when representing your brand. When other companies fall short, we keep going. Sit back and watch as our team of charismatic, goal-driven professionals make an immediate impact on your bottom line, all while establishing brand loyalty that will last a lifetime.

FAQs

What do you all do at Ardensway?

READ MORE

We are an outsourced sales and marketing company. There are two pistons of business. The first is getting new customers and the second is maintaining those customers. We get customers for the companies that hire us. It isn’t always easy, but it pays more than maintaining!

Outside sales? Can you be more specific?

READ MORE

Of course! It can mean a lot of things. We’re open to whatever a client needs as long as the method is within the bounds of integrity. That can mean business to business sales all the way to old school canvassing in a residential area. Some campaigns are leads based and some are not. Some campaigns we manage accounts and some we are tasked with simply bringing in new customers. The venue is not so much the concern to us as much as if we believe in the brand/product we are representing within that venue.

How do you do that for these companies?

READ MORE

We take on sales and marketing efforts that require a direct face to face touch. This can include anything from selling and marketing a brand at a trade show, in a retail environment, as well as various outside sales efforts. We are on the front lines grabbing new business as well as collecting info to help with promotional strategies and product adjustments.

What is the compensation like at the entry-level?

READ MORE

All employees are offered a base pay. However, in order to take full advantage of the compensation structure someone will need to perform to earn bonuses and commission. The great thing about professional sales is that it’s based on a performance structure (and always should be) – this allows entry-level candidates to earn more than their resume and experience can provide them. More intricate compensation details are discussed during the interview process and may vary depending on particular projects and clients to which one may be assigned.

The purpose of our interview process is to carefully select a candidate who can be successful in the role, but more importantly, have the potential to grow into higher level leadership and management positions.

Why Face To Face?

Face to face is the most effective way to communicate. Are online methods more efficient? Sure, but they are most definitely not more effective. More effective communication leads to customer loyalty. The longer the customer life cycle, the more profit the company turns. It may cost more upfront to acquire business through face to face means, but if that customer stays an exponential amount of time longer, (whether this means staying with a brand via subscription, revisiting a store, re-orders, etc.) then the long term outcome is more profitable.

We can’t be replaced by technology or outsourced outside the country. Automation and globalization are the two biggest dangers to jobs in the United States. Face to face based projects can’t be sent overseas. We have to be present to shake a hand. As far as automation, the internet is most definitely an effective way for companies to sell themselves using less people (which does NOT lead to job growth over time within the e-commerce industry). However, volatile churn and customer retention numbers say the internet will not overtake the importance of face to face representation in many industries especially with new technologies, more complex products, or services with larger price tags.

We want to be growing, specializing, and thriving in an area of business that we believe will grow and provide jobs for decades to come regardless of globalization or technological advances. What we sell and market will most definitely change over time, but the face to face way of doing it will always be effective and have a place.

Career Opportunities

We have openings for our Marketing & Sales teams that all begin in an entry-level capacity with options to pursue Management and Leadership Training programs. We have an aggressive growth plan over the next few years, but we promote solely from within. We are always looking for candidates to enter our training program so we can achieve our growth goals and meet client expectations. We generally see two types of people thrive within our company.

First is the person that is looking for a company that puts its employees first, offers continuous career development, growth opportunities, and the ability to be part of something special. This person wants to navigate the industry with us and grow their career in a fun, fast paced, exciting environment.

Second is the person that wants a career in sales/marketing or other business related careers, but can’t seem to find anything that pays well or is desirable work without having a certain amount of sales experience. Well, we have the position you need in order to get the position you want in the future! Our culture and campaigns are excellent for someone new to the professional sales and marketing industry.
